Wisconsin Badgers and Northwestern Wildcats football preview Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Carter Byrd from Locked On Northwestern joins the show as we talk about the critical Big Ten West football game between the Northwestern Wildcats and the Wisconsin Badgers. We discuss key talking points through the first quarter of the season for both teams and why both squads have fallen short. We talk about the mistake prone Wildcats and the sluggish Badgers. What to expect from the Badgers without Paul Chryst.

We discuss some key matchups to the game, which players will need to step up and why the rushing attacks for both teams will likely play a major role in the upcoming game. We discuss why the Wildcats have thrown the ball more than they likely would want to and why we really don't know what the Badger's offense will look like with Paul Chryst no longer with the team.

We finish up by talking about Pat Fitzgerald and just how secure his job is in the light of the Paul Chryst firing, is there any pressure on the Wildcats coach ?

Wisconsin Badgers football coaching search is Lance Leipold the guy, or is it Leonhard's job to lose ? Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

Keaton Riley jumps on the show to discuss the Wisconsin Badgers football coaching search, we talk about Dave Aranda, Lance Leipold and Jim Leonhard; as well as offensive line struggles.

First we start with Keaton's big picture thoughts, how is he processing the firing of Paul Chryst and what does he think of the timing ? We talk about the importance of this weekend's game against Northwestern and how this season could go off the rails if Wisconsin doesn't play well.

Next we talk about what Keaton thinks of each of the most-mentioned candidates for the job. We talk about Dave Aranda and why his connections to Wisconsin are probably overblown and how expensive he is going to be. We talk about Lance Leipold and why his background of winning and player development would be a home run addition, but are we concerned with his age ? Finally we get into the lead candidate for the job, Jim Leonard. We talk a little bit about what he needs to do this year to win the spot.

Finally we discuss the underperforming offensive line. Keaton talks about how the Badgers have failed in their development and wonders what happened to all of our depth.

Should Jim Leonard be the next coach of the Wisconsin Badgers football team ? We talk about the pros and cons. Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

We are still processing the after effects of Paul Chryst being fired as the Wisconsin Badgers head football coach and the promotion of Jim Leonhard to the interim head coach. On today's show we talk about Jim Leonard and why he's such a good candidate to get the job long-term. We discuss the takeaways from his press conference and how in so many ways he sounds like a guy who has a good grasp on what needs to change.

We discuss all of the positives that Leonard has from his ability to relate to players, his recent NFL background and his success as a coordinator. We also spend some time talking about what Jim Leonard will need to do to win the job, how can we fairly evaluate his performance this season and why win/loss record may not be the most important factor.

Wisconsin Badgers football former coach Paul Chryst appreciation podcast, plus comments from the community. Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

We continue talking about the Wisconsin Badgers decision to part ways with former head coach Paul Chryst. To start the show I wanted to talk about how appreciative I am and I think the fan-base should be for everything that Paul Chryst did during his tenure at Wisconsin. We talk about what the players are saying, everything Chryst accomplished and why he was such an easy guy to root for.

We discuss some user comments, why Wisconsin won't be the next Nebraska, what are the expectations for Jim Leonard and why it might be unfair to expect him to change the direction of the team. We discuss why Wisconsin might be smart to get ahead the curve on the timing of this move despite the fact that it looks odd from the outside looking in.

We finish by talking about if Wisconsin is a good job and why I don't think this recruiting class is the priority compared to making the right coaching decision.

Wisconsin Badgers fire football coach Paul Chryst and promote Jim Leonard Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

The Wisconsin Badgers fired head football coach Paul Chryst after a mostly successful run. The Badgers also announce they have promoted Jim Leonard to the spot of interim head coach for the remainder of the year. We get the gang together to talk about the surprising move and what it means for Wisconsin. We talk about why the timing of this is so surprising and important as Leonard now has a job to earn the full-time gig at Wisconsin.

We discuss the potential ramifications on recruiting and what this might mean for the current staff in place, many of whom were hired by Chryst. We take some time to talk about what we need to see from Jim Leonard for the rest of this year if he is going to be the head coach.

Wisconsin Badgers football Illinois Fighting Illini preview, whats in store this weekend in Madison ? Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

The Wisconsin Badgers football team welcomes the Illinois Fighting Illini into Madison for a key Big Ten West battle this weekend. We talk about the keys to the game, why Brett Bielema isn't a huge deal anymore and which team will better establish their identity. Bielema has done a nice job establishing his version of Wisconsin in Illinois, we talk about his impact on the game and why he's able to establish culture.

We discuss the keys to the contest, what the Badgers need to do and which players will need to step up. Justin talks about the defensive line and why its a huge key to the game on Saturday especially coming off a bad showing last weekend against OSU. We talk about the offensive keys, why we both hope Wisconsin gets more aggressive and lets Graham Mertz throw the ball more.

Finally we discuss our predictions, why we both have Wisconsin winning, but also why this game makes us very nervous.

Wisconsin Badgers football recruiting talk, does the UW system hurt Wisconsin's recruiting and a new in-state prospect with a big upside emerges. Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

Wisconsin Badgers football recruiting talk with John Garcia Jr. We discuss if Paul Chryst and the UW system impacts Wisconsin's recruiting classes in a negative way. We talk about the good and bad, how the system can help with running backs and offensive linemen, but how the coaching staff needs to work against negative recruiting from other schools for quarterbacks.

We talk about blue-chip Texas 2024 linebacker Payton Pierce; what type of chance does Wisconsin have in that national recruitment and is it a situation like Tackett Curtiss where they will ultimately end up just short?

Finally we talk about Evan Herrmann, a 2023 in-state late bloomer with unique athletic ability and why his recruitment is starting to blow up. What type of upside does he have after a couple of years of development?

Nolan Winter commitment breakdown, plus a discussion of Wisconsin Badgers basketball 2024 targets Daniel Freitag and Jack Robison Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

Wisconsin Badgers basketball recruiting talk with Jason Jordan from SI. We discuss the big Nolan Winter commitment, where his game is at and why he's such a big get for Greg Gard and the Badgers recruiting staff. We talk about his fit with Gus Yalden, and the reasons it should excite Badgers fans. Both players are guys who can shoot, pass and score in a variety of ways - that should play really well off of each other. We wrap up 2023 class, Jason loves the trio of Yalden, Winter and Blackwell; three players who are competitive and can shoot the ball.

Next we discuss two 2024 Badger targets from Minnesota, Daniel Freitag and Jack Robison. We start with Freitag a top-100 basketball recruit and an explosive point guard. What does Jason love about his game and why the Badgers will need to sell him on coming to Madison. We pivot to Jack Robison a 6-6 shooter with deep range and impressive scoring ability. Also a teammate of Nolan Winter.

How this season can still be successful for the Wisconsin Badgers football team Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Three ways the Wisconsin Badgers football team can still salvage a successful season. We start with the Big Ten West, the Badgers have a tough road ahead of them, but not a particularly daunting schedule. They will need to rip through the rest of their conference slate and hopefully finish it off with a win against Minnesota. Do that, and the Badgers will win the division and earn a trip to Indy.

We also talk about the need to finish with some recruiting mojo, the class is not strong right now and lacks a QB, both of these issues need to be rectified - especially coming off what was a disappointing class last year.

Finally the offense needs to continue evolving under first year OC Bobby Engram and we need to see more growth from the young offensive line under Bob Bostad.
